Shely Pack Dancers

I enrolled my 4 year old daughter in Shely Pack Dancers last summer when we moved to HMB. Shely & her husband, along with Miss Grace have been very helpful, patient, and kind with me and my daughter regarding any of our questions or needs.
They are very flexible, which I appreciate as my daughter is signed up for Saturday morning class but sometimes that is not always manageable so she’s allowed to attend the Monday class when she can’t make the Saturday class.
Miss Grace has been my daughter’s teacher since day one– another big plus! I’ve seen many programs (especially children’s programs) where the teachers/​coaches/​whoever change frequently and that can be disappointing since children are creating trust and attachment, the consistency in routine is lost and it makes management look bad. Seeing that Miss Grace has never missed teaching a Saturday (or Monday) class shows me that she loves her work, she loves the children and Shely likely is a good employer. At least, that is my assumption.
MIss Grace has also been assertive in letting me know when my daughter has misbehaved, another quality I appreciate. I am not looking for someone to coddle my child– I’m looking for a professional who takes their role and their art seriously. Not because I am a Stage mom but because I want any interest my daughter takes on to be reciprocated with the same respect and dedication. Who wants a coach who lets kids run crazy? Who wants a music teacher who lets the student continue to sound awful? Who wants a dance teacher who lets children goof off and be a brat during class? I don’t!
I never took dance classes to know if Shely Pack Dancers is the next Twyla Tharp Ballet Company, but my gut tells me it’s an excellent place for my child to learn dance.
